Official translation for DS announced; project
cancelled.

- Broco, April 13th, 2007

Good news! I would never have expected it when I started the project
three years ago, but Phoenix Wright has been successful enough outside
of Japan for Capcom to officially translate GS3. So, as I promised, I
am shutting down the project so as not to compete with them. Please
note that I haven't been asked by Capcom to shut down, or indeed
contacted by them in any way -- this is my own decision, and indeed it's
what I always said I would do if this happened. So no conspiracy
theories please :).

This is for the best, since after finishing Case 1 I got a full-time
job, the work had been going at a sluggish pace, and at this rate it was
going to take forever to release anything further. I'm pleased that
the series got popular enough for the third game to be released, and I'd
like to think my translation had some small part in that.

I am withdrawing the Case 1 translation patch from download. The
hacking tools will still be available, in case someone wants to use them
to translate the game into a non-English language, but the translated
scripts will be removed from the package. I encourage you to go out and
buy the DS version instead when it comes out.

I'd like to thank all the Phoenix Wright fans for their feedback and
support; I do appreciate it even though I didn't always have time to
reply to every e-mail.
